Seanad debates

Thursday, 3 April 2003

There are many other things I wish to say but I know Senators are anxious to contribute. Nobody should take it that by omitting obvious areas from my speech – many areas occur to me even as I conclude – the issues I have raised represent the substantive part of the drive against crime. I hope I have demonstrated through the anti-crime measures outlined that the Government has a comprehensive strategy with which to take forward the fight against crime. I look forward to Senators' contributions as I know they have been looking for this debate for a considerable length of time. I thought it timely to bring these crime figures before the Houses of the Oireachtas rather than slipping them out in the fog of war and be accused of taking advantage of it as a smokescreen.
